Count me in for that...

But, last time I went up to FFW all the rendevous points were empty for various reasons.. alot of people bowed out at the last minute or went later in the day.. This made for a roadtrip and a half using my "no-maps" GPS to get to FFW down every back road in NH.. fun backroad drive but not a shortcut by any means...

I will be towing my 04GT. so far its just me and my brother following up in his explorer. we usually stop at the Burger King on 24 for some Dunkin coffee before heading all the way there. anyone wanting to follow that early is welcome to.

I'm thinking the same thing...


So, I just got off the phone with New England Dragway...

Here's what they had to say:

--> They won't cancel the event until Saturday Morning at 7am (they'll look out the window for rain)

--> If it's cancelled, all tickets purchased will then be valid as a raincheck for entrance to another day.

Here's some "I don't know" answers from them ...

--> The rep had no idea about what happens to the racing schedule if saturday is cancelled ..

--> The rep had no idea if the whole weekend would be cancelled if Saturday is a washout since you can't fit two days of racing in one day..


So it's still a big ....

Anyone else know ??

Joe, if they follow the NMRA train of thought, they will move everything up a day, qualifying on Sunday, eliminations on Monday. That's what they did when we were in Ohio. Then again, you could go to www.funfordevents.com and ask Mr. George Klass himself.

I actually called them on the phone first after visiting thier website.. All I got was an answering machine saying:

"See you in NH for the 10th annual fun ford weekend we'll be back in the office next week.."


Oh well.. that was a dead end.. So I called NED instead.

I called N.E.D again. (603)-679-8001

They will be opening the gates at 7am... but they said someone will be around as early as 6am to determine whether or not to cancel the event..

I'm gonna call at 6am tomorrow, and if they don't cancel it I'll be drivin up..

Who else is still going Saturday ??? I'm planning to go right through Boston on 93 to save time at this point..
